2. Minimize the amount of fat you eat
Well, not all types of fat are created equal; some sources (avocados, fatty fish, chia seeds, and nuts) are actually super healthy and type 2 diabetes patients should definitely include them in their diet, but, sadly, most of them tend to consume unhealthy types of fat.
Saturated fat, for example, is the type of fat type 2 diabetes patients should definitely avoid. It is mostly found in meats, dairy products, butter, palm oil, and other types of tropical oils. When ignoring type 2 diabetes diet guidelines, your insulin receptors will most likely be covered in fat, leading to high blood sugar because insulin is unable to enter your cells.
This process is called insulin resistance. So, keeping an eye on the type of fat you consume is crucial when you have type 2 diabetes.
